# Session 08: Media Validation and Documentation Closeout

**Session ID**: `phase04-session08-media-validation-and-documentation-closeout` **Status**: Not Started **Estimated Tasks**: \~12-18 **Estimated Duration**: 2-4 hours

***

## Objective

Validate Phase 04 end to end, update stable documentation, and prepare the Phase 05 handoff.

***

## Scope

### In Scope (MVP)

* Run focused catalog, draft-generation provenance, media tooling, app, public demo, typecheck, lint, format, and browser validation gates required by Phase 04 changes.
* Capture validation evidence for catalog checks, generation source capture, media budgets, metadata cleanup, app media behavior, public demo offline behavior, and failure paths.
* Update PRD, UX PRD, architecture, media assets, privacy, release, deployment, development, and package README docs as needed.
* Update Phase 04 PRD progress, session notes, security/compliance posture, and state tracking.
* Record carryforward items for Phase 05 War Room integration, Phase 06 collaboration/mobile, Phase 07 hosted services/analytics, and Phase 08 release cleanup.

### Out of Scope

* Starting Phase 05 implementation.
* Adding late new media scope unless validation exposes a blocking defect.
* Final deletion of historical artifacts or trusted erasure implementation.

***

## Prerequisites

* [ ] Sessions 01-07 are completed or have explicit documented deferrals.
* [ ] Validation commands and browser smoke targets are available locally.

***

## Deliverables

1. Phase 04 validation record and implementation summary.
2. Updated stable docs and phase PRD status.
3. Security and compliance closeout notes.
4. Carryforward notes for future phases.

***

## Success Criteria

* [ ] Phase 04 catalog, draft generation, tooling, runtime media, public demo, accessibility, privacy, and performance gates pass or have documented non-release deferrals.
* [ ] Stable docs accurately distinguish shipped Phase 04 behavior from Phase 05-08 future work.
* [ ] The next workflow step after updateprd is phase transition or Phase 05 planning according to state.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/phases/phase_04/session_08_media_validation_and_documentation_closeout.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
